(Short) Animation Creation
(Short) Animation Creation
Project details
What we need
- Up to 3 short animations to be used in further marketing content (short videos, gifs, website content, etc)
- Guidelines on how to use the animations in accordance with other content
Additional details
We're looking for an animator to make refinements to an existing puppet template in Adobe Character Animate. Our cartoon needs his arm movements to be tweaked and possibly a few more movements added. We also need to drop in two completed illustrations of our professor wearing different outfits. This project is for a creative science, engineering and math curriculum for 3-5 graders!
What we have in place
- We currently have a puppet template, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have many movements already programmed, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to offer The Universe Within multimedia STEM world-building curriculum to schools starting in January.
This animation helps us serve minorities and females in public schools by completing an innovative STEM multimedia world--building curriculum. The animation is of a real beloved math professor who introduces each lesson along with real peer mentors who've already taken the course. Once completed, we can offer "The Universe Within" to students anywhere.

Our mission
Mat Bevel Company is an arts and science nonprofit that sparks the creative genius in people through found-object kinetic art, surrealistic pop theater, hands-on discovery learning, and multimedia art productions to dispel the common myth that creative genius is a talent only a few possess. To fulfill this mission, we produce and present original fine art, teach the next generation of youth how to invent and create, and serve artists and arts organizations who are revitalizing communities through the creative economy.
Our work dispels a common myth that creative genius is a talent only a few possess. In fact, Dr. George Land's work proved that 98% of people are born with abundant creative genius potential, but by young adulthood, that genius has plummeted to 2% because we stop using the imagination. Through our programs, people discover new ways to use their imaginations to solve problems, generate original ideas and invent things that improve lives, communities and the world.
What we do
Our programs include:
1. The Museum Of Kinetic Art features over 150 mechanical fine art sculptures that demonstrate how even junk can be transformed into objects of beauty and purpose. MBC Founder Ned Schaper's kinetic art museum set attendance records at the Tucson Museum of Art during a two-month solo artist retrospective in 2014. The museum is also one of four unique Tucson art destinations on Atlas Obscura, a definitive guidebook to the world's most wondrous places.
2. The Universe Within STEAM world-building program fosters kinesthetic learning and teaches youth how to tackle challenges with imagination. The curriculum is based on Ned Schaper's work and theatrical world of Beveldom, a framework developed over 35 years that includes his theater, museum, and lifelong creative practices called Available Resource Technology (A.R.T.).
3. Bevelvision Productions was launched to create modern online digital theater formats inspired by Ned Schaper's Surrealistic Pop Science Theater, using various cinematography and post-production techniques to make content widely accessible. These novel offerings include "Bevel Cafe: A Junk Reality Show" and "Kid Bevel."
4. MBC's Santa Cruz Creative Exchange offers strategic marketing and multimedia services to art organizations throughout Santa Cruz County, via the Morley Arts District in Nogales, to revitalize communities through the creative economic sector.
